Tarucca

What Tarucca does

Tarucca Technology B.V. is a Dutch deep-tech company founded in 2020 and headquartered at TU/e Campus – Alpha in Eindhoven, Netherlands. The company develops AI-powered sensing and probabilistic digital twin solutions for monitoring offshore wind infrastructure, addressing three asset classes: wind turbine blades, floating offshore wind mooring lines, and subsea power cables. Its technology stack combines photonic fibre-optic vibration sensors, edge computing, secure data pipelines, physics-informed machine learning models (anomaly detection, Bayesian inference, RUL estimation), structural dynamics simulation, and operator-facing dashboards. The three flagship products are: Wind Turbine Blade Monitoring (photonic sensors installed inside nacelles with AI anomaly detection, currently deployed onshore with offshore launch targeted Q2 2026), MOOR-LIFE (a probabilistic digital twin and AI-based remaining useful life framework for mooring lines, in TRL 3 → 5 development with TU/e and TKI Offshore Energy funding, October 2025 – February 2027), and ZeeCAIbel (AI correction algorithms for subsea cable survey magnetometer data, developed with Seekable B.V. under MIT R&D Samenwerkingsproject 2025).

The business model is hybrid across four revenue streams: subscription-based monitoring contracts for blade health (SaaS/recurring), a planned SaaS platform licence for MOOR-LIFE (subscription/recurring), embedded OEM-style licensing of the ZeeCAIbel AI correction model through Seekable's survey platform (licensing/royalties), and non-dilutive R&D funding through Dutch consortia including TKI Offshore Energy, AIRTuB ROMI, and ReliaBlade2NL (managed services). No pricing is publicly disclosed; commercial engagement is enquiry-based and founder-led. The company employs approximately six people, anchored by three co-founders — Hans van Beek (CEO, commercial), Jesse van Kempen (CTO, photonics and structural dynamics), and Hernani Costa (Chief Data and AI Officer, data science). Go-to-market is enterprise field sales combined with consortium-driven community access, targeting wind farm developers, O&M operators, floating wind developers, mooring engineers, subsea cable owners and survey companies, engineering consultancies, and classification bodies. Named industry connections — Eneco, Vattenfall, Shell, TNO, TU Delft, and TouchWind — are currently consortium and project relationships rather than disclosed paying customers.

Revenue model

1. MOOR-LIFE SaaS / Software Platform: Commercialisation roadmap and SaaS delivery model specified for MOOR-LIFE. Tarucca plans to deliver the MOOR-LIFE framework as a modular open-core digital twin software (TRL 5 prototype planned Q1 2027, Apache 2.0 licence). Revenue likely to come from software subscriptions or platform licences for floating wind operators and mooring engineers.
2. ZeeCAIbel AI Correction — Survey Services / Licensing: ZeeCAIbel correction model integrates directly with Seekable's survey platform, outputting corrected position data in real time during survey campaigns. Likely monetised as a software/licensing component paid by Seekable or by cable owners commissioning surveys. MIT R&D Samenwerkingsproject 2025 funding covers development.
3. Blade Monitoring — Continuous Monitoring Contracts: Continuous photonic monitoring and AI analysis for wind turbine blades, currently deployed onshore (moving offshore Q2 2026). Revenue likely via subscription-based monitoring contracts with wind farm asset owners and O&M operators.
4. Funded R&D & Consortium Partnerships: Tarucca participates in publicly-funded R&D consortia (TKI Offshore Energy, AIRTuB ROMI, ReliaBlade2NL, MIT R&D Samenwerkingsproject) which provide non-dilutive funding for technology development.

Core offering

Tarucca develops and sells AI-powered monitoring software and digital twin platforms for offshore renewable infrastructure assets, specifically wind turbine blades, floating wind mooring lines, and subsea power cables. Its three core solutions — Wind Turbine Blade Monitoring (photonic sensing + AI anomaly detection), MOOR-LIFE (probabilistic digital twin + AI RUL estimation for mooring systems), and ZeeCAIbel (AI correction algorithms for subsea cable surveys) — combine fiber-optic vibration sensing, physics-informed machine learning, and structural dynamics expertise to enable continuous condition-based maintenance for offshore wind operators.

Product overview

Tarucca offers an integrated portfolio of three intelligent monitoring solutions for offshore infrastructure assets: Wind Turbine Blade Monitoring (photonic sensing + AI anomaly detection for turbine blades), MOOR-LIFE (probabilistic digital twin + AI RUL estimation for mooring lines), and ZeeCAIbel (AI correction algorithms for subsea cable localisation). All three solutions share a common technology stack architecture comprising photonic/optical sensing, machine learning models, and digital twin capabilities, unified through operational decision support dashboards that provide condition-based maintenance recommendations.

• ZeeCAIbel

Products and services

• Wind Turbine Blade Monitoring Continuous optical/photonic structural health monitoring system for wind turbine blades. High-sensitivity fiber-optic vibration sensors are installed inside the turbine nacelle (no blade modification required), capturing multi-axis vibration, strain, deflection, and temperature. AI anomaly detection and pairwise blade correlation identify early-stage damage and asymmetry across blades, enabling condition-based maintenance and reducing unplanned downtime. Currently deployed onshore; offshore deployment targeted for Q2 2026.
• MOOR-LIFE AI-powered remaining useful life (RUL) estimation framework and probabilistic digital twin for floating offshore wind mooring systems. Uses Bayesian inference on platform motion and metocean data to model fatigue damage and corrosion — no proprietary sensor installation is required on the mooring system itself. Target accuracy is 95% confidence interval within ±15%. Delivered as a modular open-core SaaS platform (Apache 2.0 licence) with web-based dashboards and an AI state agent expressing mooring health in plain language.
• ZeeCAIbel AI-driven correction model for subsea power cable AUV survey data. Identifies and corrects systematic scale-factor errors in magnetometer measurements, accounting for cable type, burial depth, orientation, and environmental factors. Improves cable localisation accuracy from typical 50–150 cm deviations to a sub-10 cm target, reducing re-survey requirements and survey vessel CO₂ emissions. Embedded directly inside Seekable's survey platform, outputting corrected position data in real time during survey campaigns.
